      What help did they get from their cigarettes?

      EDIT: All right so "Snout" does mean "Informer" as well as "Tobacco"

            But then we have to mark him down for Carry On Abroad.

              I still tie my shoelaces the 'King Rollo method', which is to say I learned by watching the eponymous king being taught to make a loop with both laces and wrap one around the other then tighten. I've never seen the need to master the tiresomely grown-up variant using only one starting loop.


              Sorry, as you were.

                Bollocks to as you were. I need to see that in action. King Rollo method, you say? Is it on YouTube?

                  Apparently I tie my shoelaces left-handed, despite being right-handed. Fascinating fact for you, there.

                  I also tie them the grown-up way, because I am a 42 year old man. The fact I never knew there was another way is neither here nor there.

                  Anyway, back to the OP. This:

                  What a crock of shit
                  made me laugh far more than is strictly necessary.

                      Hahaha, oh that's magnificent VT – great work there mate. That's the stuff, 2 minutes in. Watch and learn, TG.

                      And yes, I absolutely genuinely learnt my shoelace-tying from that very demonstration, and have used the same technique shown ever since I was, what, 6 years old.

                          OK, I'll admit that was damn impressive. I may have to practise that variant!
